Terengganu Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman was convinced there is a group behind the actions of the state's former MB Datuk Seri Ahmad Said's tabling of the vote of no confidence against him.
"This was deliberately done to create tension within the state's political arena," said Ahmad Razif.
Despite all that, Ahmad Razif said, he saw the silver lining behind this incident as all the Barisan Nasional state assemblymen in Terengganu were now able to prove their undivided loyalty.
"There is a silver lining in this incident. I can see clearly the loyalty of the 15 BN state assemblymen who were with me throughout this episode," said Ahmad Razif.
He said that during a speech at a special meeting with BN component parties as well as the non-government organisations (NGOs) in Terengganu at Kuala Terengganu on Wednesday night.
In the meeting, more than 200 supporters consisting former elected officials, former administrative officers as well as division and wing chiefs of UMNO signed a loyalty pledge to Ahmad Razif and Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
On March 9, Ahmad Said moved a vote of no confidence against Ahmad Razif at the State Assembly sitting.
The Kijal assemblyman's action shocked both the BN and opposition assemblymen because they did not expect the action could be taken when taking part in the debate session on the address of the Sultan of Terengganu Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin.
